Property information

***The Reading Rooms will be closing in December 2023 to undergo extensive renovations. The Reading Rooms is scheduled to re-open at the end of October 2024 transforming into 2 Bedroom with en-suite property with open plan kitchen/living/dining*** A genuine slice of Dales history is what's on offer here. As its name suggests, this sweet stone cottage was an important part of Oughtershaw's cultural life, and now makes a tranquil riverside retreat from which to explore the wider national park.

Neighbourhood information

James Herriot had it right when he said: "Oughtershaw. A piece of bleakest Yorkshire, but smiling in the sunshine through its bare miles of tufted grass. The air had the sharp sweetness, which is found only on the top-most Pennines." Film buffs will tell you nearby Hawes is home to the famous Wallace & Gromit Wensleydale cheese, it is an untroubled village of mellow stone buildings, shops and houses linked by cobbled streets. Buckden, Kettlewell was a film location for Calendar Girls. And be sure not to miss the market towns of Grassington and Skipton. As you explore, expect dry stone walls and barns, flower-rich hay meadows and valley-side woodland. At the tip of the Dales is the unspoilt wilderness of Swaledale, home to some of Yorkshire's best walking and cycling. When it comes to peace, tranquility and natural beauty, few locations offer more.
